Hello all

[brightonrock]

Greetings from the British south coast. Been a lurker for a while, decided to bite the bullet and start posting.

Took up golf about 18 months ago when I took part in a society day as fundraising for my cricket club - never having played on anything more challenging than a pitch & putt before I borrowed an old set of clubs, and picked up a (very) cheap driver, fully expecting to be awful and hate it. I was half right - I shot 128, but absolutely fell in love with the game when I parred the 18th in front of the clubhouse.

Since then I've invested in some proper gear and a few lessons, and have played regularly (British weather permitting!), looking to improve my game further. I haven't joined a club yet as I prefer to play green-fee courses (cheaper and a bit more variety) but hope to get my unofficial handicap down to 18 by January next year. My best ever round is an 87 but generally tend to average mid-90s.

Thanks for reading and I hope I contribute well to the forums!
